Quarterbacks commonly stare at the ground while dropping back (3-5-7 and even rolling out). This is a terrible habit because it prevents the Quarterback from looking down field and seeing what's going on in front of him (defensive coverages and shifts, receivers routes, blitzes, etc.).Quarterbacks: Always look down field...Stare at Safeties is a great habit – making it difficult to determine which side or what pattern you are throwing too.
- While dropping back, stare at the defender and force him to make decision on who or where to cover.
- If it's a run play, stare at safety before the snap of the ball, don't give anything away.
- Make your read and deliver.
